The idea is a good one. It's the industry we're in that makes the difference. It's a 'survival of the fittest' game and people will not risk traffic/paid advertisers even if it's for the greater good (the less the surfer sees, the more likely he will buy including on your own galleries & the value of your 'paid listings/paid banners' goes higher). The other factor, in everyone's defence, is 'if' everyone would switch, there would always be fresh sites springing up with hardcore to the bone trying to get the dissatisfied 'surfer'.
The industry could definitely start changing their standards by moving towards more softcore thumbs - say 15 - going to larger pictures and the hardcore ones remaining as unclickable - this way, you'd be preparing the surfers for changes.
*BTW, that's working towards a perfect world

like dreaming in technicolor*
